Neuroticism, an emotion-related personality trait, is often associated with a greater susceptibility to depression. On the other hand, self-compassion involves treating oneself in a peaceful, mindful, and friendly manner, particularly in the face of failure or frustration. The study investigated the relationship between neuroticism and depression in junior high school students, as well as the moderating role of self-compassion. A total of 757 junior high school students participated in the survey, which included the Children's Depression Inventory, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised, Short Scale for Chinese, and the Chinese version of the Self-Compassion Scale. The results revealed that neuroticism positively predicted depression, while self-compassion had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between neuroticism and depression. Specifically, higher levels of self-compassion were associated with a weaker link between neuroticism and depression. These findings suggest that interventions promoting self-compassion may be beneficial for students exhibiting neurotic tendencies.
神经质是一种与情绪相关的人格特质，常与更容易患抑郁症有关。另一方面，自我同情是指以平和、正念和友好的方式对待自己，尤其是在面对失败或挫折时。该研究调查了初中生神经质与抑郁症之间的关系，以及自我同情的调节作用。共有757名初中生参与了调查，调查内容包括儿童抑郁量表、艾森克人格问卷修订版（中文版简式）和中文版自我同情量表。结果显示，神经质正向预测抑郁症，而自我同情对神经质与抑郁症之间的关系具有显著的调节作用。具体而言，自我同情水平越高，神经质与抑郁症之间的联系就越弱。这些发现表明，促进自我同情的干预措施可能对表现出神经质倾向的学生有益。
